Building and Development Party

The Building and Development Party is an Islamist political party in Egypt, founded on 20 June 2011 as the political wing of the al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya movement. The party supported the al-Nour Party and the Islamist bloc during the elections held after the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, and it supported a free economy, privatization, sharia law, representative democracy, and the rejection of a theocracy, making it more of a moderate Islamist party than the Salafist al-Nour Party.
